Sanyabori Sakura Tours

Built on top of an Edo-era canal that once connected central Asakusa and the 'pleasure district' of Yoshiwara, Sanyabori Park celebrates cherry blossom season with night-time light-ups and rickshaw rides around the neighbourhood (March 24-26 only). With views of the Skytree adding a futuristic touch to the sakura scene, this should make for one of the city's better offbeat hanami spots.
